*green*
the colour of freedom
a whispered memory
a mother's touch

*red*
the colour of blood
needlessly spilled
a river in the streets

*grey*
the colour of despair
but a remnant
of the candle's flame

*death*
a colour of...
it must be a colour
the pallor painting the father's-

**green**
it seems lost
among heartache, loss
will the memory ever fade?

*blue*
the sky under which children play
will they again?
for the sky is grey

*green*
the mother's nation
birthed of strife, breach
shining through
